The thought of losing control of your mind is terrifying at any age. Here's how movement and exercise can delay or even prevent the onset of Alzheimer's and dementia - and why it's simpler than we think.

Preventing dementia and Alzheimer’s
naturally is easier than you think!
Research around the
cognitive benefits of
movement and exercise
grows more compelling each
year.
"Of all the lifestyle changes that have
been studied, taking regular physical
exercise appears to be one of the
best things you can do to reduce
your risk of getting dementia," – UK
Alzheimer's Society.
"Exercise is like a super-charged
401K for your brain, only better,
because of its immediate, long-
lasting and protective effects on
the brain," says NYU
neuroscientist, Dr Wendy Suzuki
It's imperative to stay in motion and
exercise to maintain cognitive
function as we age. Movement
significantly strengthens two of the
key targets of both diseases, the
hippocampus and the prefrontal
cortex.
Regular exercise means a
bigger hippocampus. It will take
that much longer for Alzheimer's
disease to spread and cause
the common symptoms we
know.

make it easier to integrate
movement into the busiest of
lifestyles. They focus on working
all your muscles and joints
together
As little as 15 minutes a day
of integrated movement can
offer as much, if not more
benefit than traditional
exercise.
IMRs © are a great solution for
those who find it difficult to fit
exercise into their lives or for
those who dread the thought of a
gym or running or even just the
word 'exercise'.
Exercise is not going to cure
Alzheimer's or dementia but
it will help delay the
development of the diseases
Other significant benefits to moving
and exercise include stronger
muscles, bones, cardiovascular
strength, improved respiratory
function and more - all of which will
will kick in nearly immediately.
